First off, don't take any of the hate from 4Chan personally. 4Chan is nothing but a bunch of virgin guys living with their moms who are racist, sexist, and all around morons (4Chan made my brother so sexist and racist it makes me want to brainwash him back to normal).
Next, I looked at your pic and most of your weight is in your boobs and hips which is NEVER a bad thing. I'd hardly call you overweight.
As for the actual overweight people, I think it's fine as long as they're not trying to dress in something skimpy. I'm only 116 lbs but even I wouldn't dress in something that showed my stomach until it was perfectly flat.

ive never understood what the purpose of 4chan is..but anyways..

I go to my first con in December and really I haven't cosplayed much outside my house but already I've having to deal with 4chan like ppl who just seem to never go away. With my medical issues I can hardly do anything about the way I'm shaped. I am learning to ignore the hate and just carry on.

Okay so looked at the link and was expecting well not what I saw. I see someone with amazing curves. I actually don't cosplay as much because I've become so uncomfortable with my weight. I feel inspired and I realized what my friend has been trying to get through my head is real. Confidence really is key. Um I'd like to say thank you for lifting up my spirits into getting my confidence back.

I know I'm late to this but saw your post and your picture and WOW YOU LOOK AWESOME! I've always struggled with my weight and I really love the idea of cosplaying but so many of the anime/video game characters out there have very unforgiving costumes. I'm scared to wear any of them because I don't want to look fat but going to my first convention (NY Comic Con 2013) I felt everyone was very welcoming and friendly. And experiencing it made me want to cosplay even more! Thanks for the inspirational words...you are beautiful!!

:Unpopular opinion puffin.jpg: I don't really get too excited about it, unless the respective character is also overweight, in which case +1 point for added accuracy c; I don't want to be shallow and douchy, and I really do think people should be able to cosplay as any character they like, but I just don't like it when people of cosplay outside their body type, and plus size cosplaying is no exception. For me, seeing a 200 pound Naruto is just as off-putting as seeing a 60 pound Deadpool... Besides that, cosplaying as a fit character is a good source of motivation and people should really use that instead of just reluctantly going to a con in outfits that don't suit them too well :/

I do understand that there are people who wear costumes that are very unflattering but for the most part if you are small or chubby you can wear most things. Most of these characters builds aren't designed with natural everyday bodies in mind. If we REALLY had to only cosplay what our builds are meant for, alot of us would have a very limited selection. Sure alot of can work to a goal which is all well and good but I don't want it stopping me from just cosplaying. I don't see why a 200 pound Naruto would cause anyone distress though. If your costume is well made, you aren't popping out or wearing something that is 3 sizes too big I don't see the problem.
